Perspective in a sentence means viewpoint, specifically whose.
Take the sentence...

OK, whose perspective is this? Mine.
The sentence....

Whose perspective? Obviously, someone less than 18.

thank you so much!!!
The term "perspective" refers to an individual's point of view or how they interpret and understand a situation, event, or topic. It involves personal beliefs, experiences, and background that shape one's perception.
When someone asks what perspective is being described in a sentence, you need to identify the viewpoint or stance from which the sentence is written. This could be based on a specific person, a particular group, or a general overarching perspective. To answer this question, you should analyze the sentence and consider the context, language used, and any implicit or explicit bias that may be present. It is important to be objective and provide a clear explanation of the perspective being described in the sentence.
